Pooler police say violence erupted during one couple's Valentine's Day outing, as the suitor's former lover burst into the restaurant and beat the man with her high-heel shoe.

Early Sunday morning, officers were called to the Waffle House at 1012 E. U.S. 80, finding a "blood-covered floor and tables in a state of disarray," according an incident report filed by Pooler police.

A 33-year-old man had suffered cuts and scrapes on his face, marks left by the "spiked heel from a shoe," police reported.

The victim told officers that he and his girlfriend were at a booth when a pair of sisters - one of whom is the mother of his children - came in and started an argument.

He tried to ignore them, police reported, even as they began hitting him. A Waffle House manager told police the women also hurled sugar and salt containers through a window.

At some point, the assailants went to the parking lot and damaged the man's car, police reported.

They then returned inside, and the man struck at least one of the women, according to the report.

That's when the women took off in a car; a Savannah-Chatham police officer spotted the getaway vehicle and followed it to Memorial University Medical Center, Pooler police reported.

One of the women was treated for a cut above her right eye before both were taken to the Pooler police department.

The suspects - identified as Kenya White, 29, of Meldrim; and Marrisha White, 32, of Hinesville - were each charged with battery and criminal damage to private property, according to the incident report. They were taken to the Chatham County jail.

Paramedics treated the victim at the scene, police reported.

Woman seriously injured in I-16 crash

An unidentified female driver Thursday was freed from her vehicle and taken to Memorial University Medical Center with serious but non-life-threatening injuries after a three-vehicle accident on Interstate 16 near the 37th Street exit.

The accident at 7:58 a.m. involved a city of Savannah-owned dump truck and two vehicles, said Gena Moore, Savannah-Chatham metro police spokeswoman. The dump truck was traveling on Interstate 516 eastbound along the guardrail when it was rear-ended by a Honda driven by the injured woman. She was exiting the I-516 off ramp when the accident occurred, Moore said. A third vehicle rear-ended the Honda.

Emergency crews used the Jaws of Life to free the woman from her vehicle. Moore said the woman will face traffic charges.

The crash reduced I-16 eastbound to one lane near the 37th Street exit for almost an hour.

Valdosta State server security breached

A Valdosta State server breach in November could have exposed the information of up to 170,000 students and faculty, the university said on Thursday.

Valdosta State officials reported the discovery of a breach on Dec. 11 and estimated it began on Nov. 11. On Thursday, the university said the grades and social security numbers of up to 170,000 students and faculty were exposed in the breach and it was unknown whether any of the data were accessed, said Thressea Boyd, university spokeswoman.

Boyd added the investigation into the incident is ongoing and the intent of the breach was unknown.
